On Saturday night I went to the Village Cinemas in Bourke St. and saw Some kind of Monster. Yeah, the Metallica documentary. It’s screening as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival It must be the decade of the doco. It was pretty funny seeing 900 bogans lined up to see a movie (me being one of them…semi-bogan anyway). As far as the movie, well, save yourself the trouble and rent out Spinal Tap. What a load of bullshit it was. It’s also funny seeing Lars Ulrich partly justifying his anti-napster stance. He’s a prize wally if I’ve ever seen one. It’s not funny seeing rich, ageing men using a personal therapist to attempt to take them back to their youth so they can pump out more predictable music. Chung, chung, da da da da da da da da chung chung. Ching. Chung chung da da da da da da chung chung.
I heard an interview on the radio about an Imelda marcos doco this morning. Sounded interesting, but then – they all sound interesting.
Will have to get along to something at least this year though.
